Simon Cowell & Rhydian talk about Idina Menzel

[Ane1111]

1.29: "Shes fantastic." ;D

[Ane1111]

HAHAHA! He's soooo i loooooooooove with Idina!

[moondust99999]

hehe who doesn't have a crush on idina? :D

[Ane1111]

Where is this from?

[naomino1]

awwww Rhydian gets all bashful :P and so he should she is freakin awesome lol I love simon and I'm glad he likes my Idol :P 2 months and 8 days til I go to see her :D :D xxx

[tiaandteddy]

How can he not know who she is? did I miss something?

[famosyyo]

This just made me jump out of my seat....so Simon is normally very rude and stuff but he thinks Idina is incredible! AGGHHHH!!!! This made me like him SO much moreee<333333 And of course he likes her! Who doesn't like Idina!? If not her voice, then her personality, if not her personality then her voice. <333333

[JamieZeleneGlades]

Simon, why has Idina not be invited to sing at X Factor yet? WHY?

[nightfox215]

i acted as angel in my school production of RENT. it was a good time. we did the production on christmas 2010. im 13. i think idina menzel is a really good singer than an actress.

[XsweetstarliteX]

it worries me that simon cowell is in the music industry and has never heard idina menzel, yet he is distributing piles of garbage to the general public.

[idinamenzelfanzel]

WTF! Simon Cowell had never seen Rent or Wicked Obviously... Someone get him to a dhospital i think he's ill...

[lollipoplullabies]

@idinamenzelfanzel Well, if you see him during the Adam Pascal audition, you can see that he doesn't have a taste for musicals, so that's probably why he doesn't know her.

[macrent2]

Had Simon never seen RENT?

[TVBProductions]

"but why this song?"

i was thinking he would say "but why NOT this song?"

[fashiongurlie300]

seriously she was in rent and wicked .... how do you not know who Idina is

[XorangeXmangoXspiceX]

It slightly pissed me off that Simon had never heard of Idina. She's a frickin legend. I love her.

[tomboy12f]

I love Idina Menzel and despite what a lot of people say shes not as well known as u think.. But I like that shes not super famous because it keeps her down to earth! Also it means when she does a tour in Maryland I can get seats cause it wont sell out to fast! She is INCREDIBLE i want to meet her SO BAD!

[beck8vegas]

im curious what they are talking about in the beginning when they say barbra streisand dolly parton ps. idina is amazing

[MvyMkr]

@beck8vegas Probably comparisons I reckon.

[titfortat2]

Sort it out Simon Leona and Idina would be amazing

[MvyMkr]

@titfortat2 Duuude, if Idina can outsing Lea Michelle, the will DEFINITELY outsing Leona Lewis...

[titfortat2]

@MvyMkr Yeah i agree Idina has got a better all round voice. But I dont think she would blow Leona away I think leona could hold her own. But both singers for me move me when they sing and just blow me away. Leona when she sang Run live on Radio 1 she was outtstanding and people can disagree with me but I think its better then the snow patrol versions. And I am a massive snow patrol fan. I dont think I even have to say anything about Idina and her voice it just flawless

[MvyMkr]

Yeah, sorry I'm not knocking Leona, I think she has a really nice voice (disagree about Run though, I think they totally overdid it - the beauty of that song is in its simplicity - although she will just be doing what shes told...) I just don't think it's in the same league tbh.

[jae149]

all you simon haters need to open YOUR eyes. Ask around your school/workplace "who's idina menzel" they either say "idon't know" or "the name sounds familiar". Ask then "who's lady gaga?" and they'll say "are you nuts?!" they fact is, very very few people know musical theatre. recently, because of glee, she's gotten a LOT more attention by the masses. I highly doubt half the people in SONY BMG or Universal or Atlanta know who she is. That's the way of the music industry.

[broadwayxdude06]

@jae149 oh no dont say that people know who idina is... i think there;s a lot of people who appreciate the art of musical theatre( which is of course why ill major in it) but like im sure a lot of people like musical theatre and open to a lot of versatile music not just mainstream (which dont get me wrong of course i love)

[MvyMkr]

@jae149 Idina's signed to a MASSIVE labeland has been for years,.,

[liteupthestage]

AAHAHAHAHAHA LOVE <333

[Solarista6222]

he's right she is cute and fit =P

[luvhelmet]

How the hell does Simon not know who Idina Menzel is if he's such a big shot in the music industry?! Gesh even my friends who don't follow plays know who she is!! Whateves at least he thinks she's "incredible" and she is!

[teardropsofhope7]

hahaha this is hilarious!!!! I normally wanted to KILL Simon on American Idol for being such a snob, but the fact that he just said that Idina was extraordinary makes me actually LOVE him

[Solarista6222]

LOL 'she's fit' xD how can simon not know Idina Menzel she's such a brilliant singer and actress.

[lusobrasileira1477]

"I had no idea who this woman was, but she sounds great."

OMG.. the broadway super star Idina Menzel? The Tony award Idina Menzel? GOD.. Simon needs to see the world outside american idols.. Go to the theater man :p

So cute how Rhydian admits she's cute and he likes her, but she's married.

And he was all red :D

thx for sharing :D

[IsabelNSCarvalho]

@lusobrasileira1477 Thanks!

And your right, Rhydian is really cute admiting he has a crush on her even though she's married!! But, then, who DOESN'T have a crush on Idina?? I'm a girl and I totally do!!hahaha. She rocks!!! And I hate Simon a little less now that he admited that she's INCREDIBLE!!! <3

btw, é brasileira msmo?? =)

[lusobrasileira1477]

@IsabelNSCarvalho Sim sim..meio lá, meio cá :p

Desde que eu a vi pela primeira vez em wicked.. OMG .. we have to love her :D

[IsabelNSCarvalho]

@lusobrasileira1477 Com certeza!! Idina arraza!! Tenho um grupinho de Idina addicteds pra suprir meu vício por ela!!! No good deed dela em Wicked...O Q É AQUILO??o.0 Mtooo foda! aushuahs =)

[lovelion2001]

yeah she's married, she's married to taye diggs. like any other guy can compete with that....

[IsabelNSCarvalho]

What song is she singing??

[lusobrasileira1477]

@IsabelNSCarvalho The name is "What if" :)

[GabbyDee32]

hahaha love it

[sassyangel0719]

why can't they get people like this to mentor on Idol instead of Miley Cyrus?

[AlexH2906]

@sassyangel0719 oh wow, couldn't have said it better.....

[defyingravity08]

I WAS AT THE HYDE PARK ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER SHOW!! amazing! hated Rydian, Idina was AMAZING! <3

[ihearthowardmoon]

i'm surprised simon doesn't know who idina menzel is.

[gabriellecorinne]

@ihearthowardmoon yes but he thinks she's fantastic anyway.. dee is amazing.

[xxAlix95xx]

i loved that 'is she cute?' 'she's fit, aha but she married' poor rhydian a crush that shall never be allowed to blossom and she is amazing i am glad simon sees it

[omglolwhatever]

Why does Simon say he's not heard of her? He saw her in the London production of Wicked

[catylaloca]

when? how do you know?

[dimbgeest]

probably because:

a) he hates wicked

and

b) he generally only cares about people who makes him money.

[ShawnJD10]

Oh man that's some praise! No one can deny how great she is!

[mkayeSMILEZ]

i just laughed when Simon said, "Is she cute ?" aha "she's married !"

[jewey896]

Now NOBODY! is allowed to say they dont like Idina Menzel, effing Simon Cowell likes her!!!

[katlin8807]

hahaha exactly!! my first thought the first time I ever listened to this!

[patrickyvidall]

Rhydian is so cute and sexy!

Look at his arms and the muscles on his legs! Holly, molly, what an attractive lad!

[milly2011]

Holy flip!

Simon was completely blown away.

[AlexH2906]

Well, why shouldn't he be..... she's amazing....

[Horrordas]

I LOVE SIMON AND IDINA!

[Taiternator]

what about rhydian?

[idinaBALLET]

Yeahi!!! Simon Cowell thinks Idina is amazing! I usually can't stand him cause he's always so cynical... but finally he speaks some sense!!!

[katebien]

@idinaBALLET see even simon thinks idina is awesome!!!! shove that up you Menzel hater butts and smoke it!

[KBel20]

"She's fit! But she's married" so funny. but she's not just married, she's married to sexy Taye Diggs!

[broadwaydude]

hehehe so awkward :D

[nerdygirl33]

omg when I saw this video I was afraid to click on it because I know how much of a critical jerk simon can be sometimes, but I had to know what he thought of her! it was awesome to hear that he thinks she's amazing. This gave me a whole new respect for simon. He KNOWS talent!!!!! (also, I heard Idina singing from that recorded song they were playing of her.... Whats the name of it??? I MUST know!!!!)

[phoebe21]

What If by Rhydian Roberts feat. Idina Menzel (though I prefer to think of it the other way round). Only available for purchase in the UK I think, but the whole song is on youtube somewhere.

[nati0714]

the song that they sang together is called "what if"

[MvyMkr]

I've already been on here - but I just HAD to come back and bask in the AWESOMENESS of the fact that Simon Cowell thinks Idina Menzel is awesome!!!

I hope she knows that!!!

[phoebe21]

I know, right? I'm so glad more people outside the theater world are discovering her!!

[MvyMkr]

I NO I NO I NO!!! GA!H!

Go on Simon...GIVE HER SOME MORE PUBLICITY!

I've always wanted to hear her sing "Hallelujah" haha! - He should get her back to London man!!!

[FrogFace17]

i love that he asks if shes cute.

[DramaQueen2107]

HE DOESN'T KNOW IDINA !!!! in my world that's a sin

[05xxxqoh]

I know! How can he not know her

[leycorbin4ever]

I didn't know her until the movie rent!!

[lillolun]

Simon Cowell + Idina Menzel = Worldwide Idina Domination! Yay!

[cherryblossom141]

haha i will love simon forever solely for calling idina incredible. he DOES know talent when he sees it.

[gogogirliez]

I can't believe he didnt know who she was!

OMFG! Idina rules!

He shoulda seen her perform at G-A-Y club!

[greenelphiexoxo]

yay! We can convert Simon to musical theatre now! First Adam Lambert, then Susan Boyle, now Idina!!

[Elphieuk]

Lol that's so cute!

[BroadwayBaby008]

I love Simon now!

and really? How can he love musicals and not know who Idina is???!

[nickynackynoo123]

BroadwayBaby008, Simon really doesn't like musicals, lol. The fact Rhydian stuck his tongue out when saying that infers 'irony'. Rhydian is a HUGE musical theatre fan, Simon certainly is not. Hope this helps.

[BroadwayBaby008]

Oh, I heard somewhere someone say, "I know ho wmuch you love musicals.." to simon.. but maybe they were being sarcastic.

[jenalicerose]

lmao how funny is Simon

:D

<3 Idina

[born2Bgreen528]

simon does know what hes talking about!!!

[bbpoop93]

haha how can you not love idina menzel?

they blatanty fancy her, who doesn't tbh? loll!

girllll crush :p

[horsyfreak2000]

Wow, how could Simon not know who Idina is!

So nice to hear him complimenting her though

[slhood1]

Is this from an interview, if so anyone know where Id be able to get the full interveiw

I love IDINA, and Simon Cowel is actually compelementing her, shows how awesome she is !!

chen0+Idina , i <3 CHENZEL!!

[RoryGilmore669]

OMG that is so cool!!!!!

[Kylouch]

THANK YOU GOD !

See you know your good when Simon actually say's something not only nice but amazing "She's Fantastic!" And I totally Agree !!!! I LOVE IDINA MENZEL

LMAO he's in love with her !! I don't think Taye Liked that though LMAO (let me know when you add the fight scene :P )

[x0broadwaynyc]

i wonder if idina knows about this (:

[MvyMkr]

Hahaha!

He fancies Idina!!!

Don't we all!

And to hear Simon Cowell commenting so positively on Idina!!! - Is fantastic!

I hope she's seen this!

[dianadramaqueen]

Wow! Yay!

Now, if Simon thinks Idina is incredible, then he needs to hear Kerry Ellis too! He'd love them both!

[MvyMkr]

I think he'd see the originality in Idina that Kerry doesn't posess...

[dianadramaqueen]

Huh? whats that supposed to mean :S that Kerry has no originality? Now that is hilarious. haha! Kerry has plenty! I haven't heard a voice like Kerry's before ever! Its is pure original and unique!

[MvyMkr]

Kerry does have originality, just not nearly in the quanity Idina does...

I love Kerry's voice, I just really don't think it has that originality Idina's does! It's slick and it's beautiful, but you wouldn't necessarily hear it and know for sure "Ooo that's Kerry Ellis" whereas you would for Idina. And I really, firmly believe that!

So yeah, that's what I believe, and the music Idina writes is incredibly moving and unique...

[RentandWicked]

wooo go Idina!

[GabbyDee32]

does anyone know where the whole thing is? cause it seems they cary on talking about her. love it thanks so much for posting!

[DefyingGravity36]

[GabbyDee32]

[GabbyDee32]

[dreamstar0108]

[MiniMullally211]

[RelentlessLauren]

[MiniMullally211]

[sroberge]

[PezziiMezzii]
